ENGLISH SPARROWS.
How a Cleveland hysician Turns the L
tie Birds to Good Advantage.

How a Cleveland Ply sician Turns the Lit
tie Birds to Good Advantage.
On the 10th of January, 1871, Mr..
Nathan P. Payne, then councilman
from the Fifth ward, introduced in the
Cleveland Council the following resc-
luton. which was adopted:
That the committee parks and public
grounds are hereby authorized and directed to
obtain for the city parks fifty pairs of English
sparrows.
In due course of time the commit
tee carried out the mandate of the
council, and the sparrows have ever
been with us. Their advent was hailed
by press and public as a public bless
ing; but the day of their usefulness has
gone by, and people would be glad to
see them move hence, for the sparrow
has driven away the robin and other
birds, and has become nuisance in
various ways. Various devices have
been tried to reduce the rapidly in
creasing number of the pests, but the
sparrow is as defiant of man as he
is pugnacious with the feathered tribes,
and he laughs to scorn all efforts to en-
trap HIM. 1t is said that the members
of the park commission and the City
Council will put their heads together
to try and devise some way to at least
decimate the ranks of the army of
winged invaders.
A prominent physician of this city.
who practiced medicine for several
years at the national capital. proposes
means TO capture the belligerent
sparrow and dispose of his remains to
the profit of the city and the delight of
the epicure. The sparrow is the last
straw which even the most intense
Anglomanic has refused to carry. The
doctor said:
ii would place long. shallow boxes,
two or three feet wide and half an
inch deep, in places where the SPAR
rows are numerous. In the box I
would flow layer of cool-tar until it
was half an inch thick. On this
would sprinkle thin layer of sand.
The next step would be to place food
on the sand for the sparrows. You
catch my ideap In hot weather the
tar would remain soft, the birds would
alight for food and would be COM

suggested to ME by seeing a number of
sparrows stuck in the hot asphaltum of
Washington street one time. This city,
in case my plan is adopted. can have
bird catcher to collect the tarred and
feathered sparrow, which can then be
sold for food. 1t is not generally
known. but the common English spar
row is bird whose flesh rivals that of
the celebrated Carolina reed bird in
delicacy of flavor. Broiled sparrows.

BLAINE'S ENDORSEMENT.
Why the Man from Maine VIII Never Re
ceive Independent Support.

Why the Man from Maine Will Never Re-
ceive Independent support.
1t is believed that the Republicans of
Pennsylvania are the first to give Mr..
Blaine an unequivocal Endorsement for
nomination in 1888. The resolution
by which this is conveyed is peculiar,
both in its terms and arrangement.
After saying that the Republicans of
the State evil view with high pleas
ure his nomination" in 1888, the plank
says that accident can not abate the
love of a great party nor the admira-
ton of a great people for statesman
true alike to his convictions and to his
country" Mr.. Blaine is not the only
man who has not ceased to be a leader
because of an accident" but the acct
dent of defeat is always fatal in this
country to party leader. The history
of our politics has shown that party
leaders have seldom been successful.
No Wing party leader ever won the
prize, and only one was ever nomi-
mated. Webster. Clay. Usher, Mangum
Cass, Benton, Calhoun, Davis, Marcy,
Wright, Douglas and scores of others
as devoted to the Democratic party
had to yield to the Folks, Pierces, Van
Burens, Buchanans and others who
obeyed the Albany regency. Seward,
Chase, Greeley, Hale. Cameron, Conk-
ling and other recognized Republican
leaders gave way to Fremont, Lincoln,
Grant. Hayes and Garfield, who were
nominated for any thing else but their
abilities as great party leaders.
The accident" of defeat will almost
invariably happen to a person whose
nomination is demanded by a party
only, for such candidate is extreme in
his views, and it is the fair, candid
non-extremist who catches the indie
pendent vote. 1t is the non-partisan
that causes the accidents" in this
country, and. in the absence of soul
stirring issues it is the opinions of the
voter as to the character of the candi-
dates that controls the votes. Has Mr..
Blaine done any thing since 1884 that
has commended him to the non-parti-
san voters of the country that insures
him against another ''accident?" No
one then has any doubts as to his abil-
ity, but they saw. as Mr.. Fry, of
Maine, said, 1.-THE smirch' on his gar
ments and voted for his opponent.
The partisans of the Republican State
convention of Pennsylvania may not
care for that s'smirch," but the indie
pendent voters of the country still see
it as they did in 1884, and it is the ex-
IRENE of political folly "to invite de-
feat" as the Chicago Tribune said of
him in 1876, "by the nomination OF
such a man. - Chicago NesOs.
